Shenzhen, Shunfeng Building, CEO's office. Wang Wei was sitting in his office chair, scrolling through his phone.
It was his lunch break. After every meal, he would take half an hour to relax and look at the trending topics on Weibo or today's headlines. After all, for a company that worked closely with the internet, it was necessary for them to pay attention to current events.
"University of Jin Ling undergraduate students published nine SCI theses … Are undergraduate students this good?" Wang Wei smiled and shook his head.
He opened the trending topic and the first article was the famous science writer Zhu Fangcai's article.
When Wang Wei saw this person's name, he frowned. His first impression of this person was not very good.
This Zhu Fangcai was a celebrity. He was famous for criticizing people on Weibo, but he did not have much ability. Therefore, he was called Big Mouth Zhu. A man of action like him had never been fond of clowns who tried to please the public with their claptrap. Especially since this person liked to criticize China's education system. Every time he talked about this point, he would always use Wang Wei's high school education as an argument to prove his point.
Wang Wei did not mind being a high school student. Otherwise, with his financial resources, he could just donate some money to any school and get an honorary doctorate.
However, it was annoying to be called a "high school student" all the time. After all, no one liked to be exposed again and again.
When Wang Wei saw this person's name, he did not even want to open the article. He did not even need to look at the article. It was nothing more than a set of gossip.
Nine undergraduate theses talking about China's academic community?
Who the hell are you?
Suddenly, someone knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
The person who came in was Liang Shenghao, the technical director of the company's drone logistics research and development center. He graduated from California Polytechnic State University and had a double doctorate in logistics management and computer science. He was only in his early thirties.
Because of the recent development of drone technology, the concept of drone logistics was becoming more and more popular. In order to keep up with the trend of the times, Shunfeng, as a leading private logistics company in China, naturally did not want to fall behind in this field. Therefore, they cooperated with Dajiang UAV to establish a drone logistics project and invested 500 million yuan to build a new research and development center in Shenzhen.
Of course, due to the hardware limitations, it was still difficult to achieve drone delivery in the short term.
Wang Wei naturally knew this. Therefore, although this research and development center was nominally a UAV logistics research and development center, there were not many researchers engaged in UAV logistics research and development. The main research and development projects were still concentrated in the direction of intelligent logistics.
Namely, using big data to drive warehouse locations and macro-business sales forecasts, as well as improving automated sorting technology in logistics centers, and so on.
Liang Shenghao walked to the desk and placed a computer journal on the table. He smiled and said, "CEO Wang, I found a talent for you."
"Oh?" Wang Wei put down his phone and glanced at the journal on the table. He smiled and said, "Modern Communication and Geographic Information Technology? Didn't you tell me last time that there were too many useless papers in computer science journals, and that you had subscribed to two of them? "
"I've always subscribed to computer science journals, especially the core journals on artificial intelligence research. I just don't pay much attention to domestic journals." Liang Shenghao adjusted his glasses and said, "Luckily, I saw it when I was scrolling through the trending list. Otherwise, these theses would be buried in the garbage."
"Are you talking about …?" Wang Wei's expression was a bit strange.
"That's right. That undergraduate student posted nine theses. I took a look at them. The viewpoints and algorithms mentioned in them are very interesting. It's just that … "
Oh?
An undergraduate student is so capable that an overseas PhD student thinks it's interesting?
Wang Wei was interested. He sat up and asked, "Just what?"
"It's just that his research is … advanced," said Liang Shenghao. He thought about his words and said, "Drone logistics is still a concept. No company can produce drones that can meet the rigid standards of drone delivery. Therefore, the world's mainstream logistics companies' research in the field of drone logistics is still focused on the hardware. "
Wang Wei nodded and continued to ask, "I know, what else?"
"The content discussed in his thesis is based on the feasibility of drone delivery. For example, in his paper, he proposed the concept of building a logistics' hive 'in the city, docking with the sorting center, introducing the drone into the GIS system, automatically finding the way when no one is operating it, identifying the receiving address through the camera, confirming the recipient based on facial recognition technology, confirming the receipt through hand gestures, and automatically uploading the alarm data when the drone is intercepted … "
At this point, Liang Shenghao stopped.
Wang Wei gently tapped his finger on the desk and went into deep thought. After a while, he said, "So, he only proposed a concept?"
If it was just a concept, there was nothing much to say. As long as one knew how to do a PowerPoint, anyone could casually say a few words on the topic of artificial intelligence. Lu Zhou could only propose this because he had some understanding of artificial intelligence.
If he only had this level of strength, forget about him, he wouldn't even be able to pass the test of the HR people he sent to the on-campus job fair.
"It's not just a concept." Liang Shenghao shook his head and said, "It also involves some algorithms, mainly related to facial recognition and GIS systems. This is why I'm optimistic about his ability. Especially the algorithms he wrote in the area of facial recognition. Although they are slightly flawed in my opinion, they can still be said to be quite groundbreaking. Even our research center can take them and continue to develop them. "
Not only was it an idea, but Lu Zhou also implemented it on the basis of this idea, so the meaning was completely different.
It was like one person saying, "I want to build a house here", while the other person circled the land and put two bricks on it. There was a fundamental difference in the value created by the two people.
Wang Wei did not care about how much of this undergraduate student's research had been achieved. Any research needed a process. The higher the value of the research, the higher the investment.
Wang Wei did not say anything. Instead, he picked up the computer science journal and flipped to a few pages.
[UAV logistics research and development prospects and framework discussion]
[A pixel analysis algorithm based on artificial intelligence]
[An optimization algorithm for dynamic image recognition by artificial intelligence]
[An automatic measurement method for human body size based on artificial intelligence]
[…]
Even so, the total value of these theses could not be overshadowed.
Liang Shenghao saw that the CEO did not speak, so he said, "It's a waste to publish these algorithms in a journal. I suggest we send him an offer and recruit him to our company. We can invest in his research."
Wang Wei waved his hand and said, "No rush,"
Liang Shenghao frowned and said, "Are you worried about his education? With all due respect, based on the abilities he has shown so far, even a graduate student specializing in artificial intelligence application research can't do better than him. Also, even though we can't use UAV logistics in the short term, we will enter this field sooner or later! It's better to start the talent pool now than to compete with others in the future. "
As a young discipline, computer science was different from other fields. Although academic qualifications were still important in recruitment, this principle was not practical for some of the technical experts who had made achievements.
After all, they were special talents. They generally did not appear in the talent market. Instead, they usually appeared on the list of well-known headhunting companies.
"Haha, I don't need you to teach me this. I only look at ability, I don't care about background. It's not like you don't know." Wang Wei smiled and threw the journal on the table. He said, "There's no rush to send this offer. Let's wait for a while. Anyway, we are the only one in the UAV logistics field in China. We're not afraid of him being poached. "
Liang Shenghao was stunned. He wanted to say a few words, but he immediately understood what the CEO meant. His eyes lit up.
I see …
The CEO is smart!
For a hot-blooded young man, being slandered like this and having his own research results reduced to worthless, he must be feeling very wronged.
Let Zhu Fangcai, the clown, continue to jump around and polish the temper of the young man named Lu Zhou. When Lu Zhou couldn't take it anymore, Shunfeng would make a high-profile appearance and give him a 500,000 yuan annual salary to affirm his research value …
Then wouldn't he be loyal to Shunfeng for the rest of his life?
The jobs with high annual salaries were always at the next company. Therefore, many companies had corporate culture, employee benefits, and employee stock ownership to retain talent. The key to retaining talent was to let the talent see the company's future and let the talent develop feelings for the company.
In some sense, the latter was even more important than the former.
Wang Wei leaned back in his office chair and smiled as he said, "I'll keep this journal here. I'll remember this. Go do your work."
